Using airbrush cleaner involves spraying it through your airbrush until it sprays clear, ensuring all residual paint is removed.
Here's a breakdown of the process:
-
Spray Cleaner Through the Airbrush: After using your airbrush, fill the paint cup with airbrush cleaner (or even water for a quick flush).
-
Spray into a Suitable Container: Aim the airbrush into a Spray Out Pot or a folded paper towel to safely collect the sprayed cleaner and paint residue. This prevents overspray and potential messes.
-
Continue Until Clear: Keep spraying until the airbrush sprays clear, indicating that all traces of the previous paint color have been removed.
-
Quick Paint Flush (Optional): For a faster clean between colors, consider using a specialized cleaner like Medea Airbrush Cleaner with a 360 nozzle (note: nozzle may not be included and needs to be bought separately).
-
Ready for Next Color: Once the cleaner sprays clear, your airbrush is ready to be used with a new paint color.
By following these steps, you can effectively clean your airbrush, prolong its lifespan, and ensure consistent performance with each use.
